FAKE Brazilian Blowout

So this past weekend SUCKED!!!!
So a few weeks ago someone told me that they had tried this stuff from Wal Mart called "The Brazilian Keratin Treatment" she told me that it worked pretty well for her! She said that it obviously wasn't as great as the "REAL" Brazilian Blowout but it worked pretty decent! I thought about it and said to myself "I baby my hair soooooo much, what is one time using a Wal Mart product gonna do? The worst that is gonna happen is that is just won't work..." Right? WRONG!!!!!! After making my poor sweet cousin (who was willing to take time out of her life to come help me!) took 4 HOURS to help me do this we noticed that my hair looked a little different. I was a little worried but thought it was just the product and after I washed it out in 48 hours as directed it would was out with it..... WRONG!
So this happened on Saturday when the boys were at Priesthood. After priesthood we ALL went to dinner.... Everyone was making fun of my hair asking me "what the heck did you do to your hair??" well everyone except out little Hispanic waitress... The first thing she said when she got to the table was "Wow! I really love your hair!" I think she just wanted a tip because I was sitting right next to a mirror and looked over at my reflection and saw my greased down nasty ORANGE hair! I thought "OH NO! it really is getting oranger by the minute!" maybe she really did like it... I highly doubt it!!! WHO WOULD! IT WAS NASTY!!! I mean my own husband walked in the restaurant looked at me with HUGE eyes and said "babe you gotta wash that out! You look like Bo Bo the clown!" I wanted to cry! I just wanted my hair to be less frizzy and a little less curly!! NOT ORANGE! I was desperate and a had a bit of a laps in judgment when deciding to buy this Wal Mart Trama!
After dinner I was trying to decide if I should wash it out... I mean come on we just spent the last 4 HOURS trying to do this as perfect as we could! I wanted it to work so badly and felt a little bit of guilt for "waisting" my sweet cousins time for something I was just going to wash out! We ended up having to run a movie back that we had borrowed from my friend who is in hair school... I knocked quietly on the door hoping I wasn't going to get shunned from doing the wretched thing to my hair I work so hard to keep as healthy as I can! She opens the door and I say "don't judge my hair! I don't know what's happening!" she immediately pulls me in and says "WHAT DID YOU DO??" I hung my head and started to explain... Before I could even finish my first sentence she said "you can't do that on blonde hair!" now I really wanted to cry! What had I don't to myself?? Just a few weeks ago I has paid a very VERY large pretty penny on getting my hair done and now I wrecked it!! Now keep in mind while doing this whole process it tells you to flat iron up to 450 degrees 2 inch section by 2 inch section... So this is REALLY BURNED IN MY HAIR! She tells me to go home and wash it out now!!! She told me to buy some stuff at maceys ( I didn't want to go to Wal Mart...I was still angry at them) and try to strip the color out! Well it was too late... I had ruined it! I was hysterical....Tyson was scared I'm sure.... He was very comforting hugged me and told me we would get it fixed Monday! I was still hysterical....he started texting one of my very sweet hairstylist friends and told her what had happened and that I was having a total breakdown! He asked her if she would fix it Monday. She laughed and said "I will fix it tomorrow! She can't wait till Monday!" I was relieved...a little.. Still feeling awful about EVERYTHING!
The next morning, after the first session of conference, she met us down at her salon and helped me strip most of the orange out. She said she will put some color into in in a few weeks after all my hair had been through it was very dry and needed some time!
All and all it was quite a traumatic weekend for me! I'm happy it's over and will me more happy in a few weeks when I can color it again. Thankfully it will be ready to go right before out Texas trip!

Ps the sweet girl that told me about this has dark brown hair and had no clue it would do this to my hair! AND it didn't say anything about it at all on the stupid box!
Pictures that follow are in order!

Before- nice pretty EXPENSIVE hair...




Grease monkey orange hair that only my waitress liked...






After that night washing it a few times but it was too late..









On my way to the salon thanks Nicole! I really love her!


The only picture I have of my hair after. It is pulled back because she put a deep conditioner in it for me to leave in for about 24 hours... I was still sad I messes it up but almost all the orange is gone...
